"Sun Fuzzies"

Sun Fuzzies.... For those of you who don't know what they are, my kids have informed me that they are the tiny dust particles you can see in a ray of sunlight. Hmmm, don't ya just love the names kids come up with for things. Brogan and Gavin have been very inquisittive about the Sun Fuzzies lately. I love that I can experience the world through their eyes. Things that I normally take for granted or even find annoying at times (dust), they find such joy and fascination in.

Happy Birthday Brogan!

Everyone please forgive me for all the pictures, but Brogan's daddy took a bunch of fun one's. Brogan decided he wanted an "Alien" birthday party. Aunt Tressie and I made the decorations for his party.

I did my best on his birthday cake. I couldn't find a cake mold anywhere. He thought his cake was great! Yea!

Birthday Gifts.....Ever since Brogan went swimming in his cousin's hot tub he has wanted "Wobble Gobbles" (water goggles). So when he opened these, he was so excited. He got two pair so he could share his wobble gobbles with his brother. He also got some other swimming gear. Now he's all set to spend the summer at the pool!

Yea Gum! Brogan's favorite! (sugarless is best)

I love how excited Brogan gets over the simplest things!

Finger lickin' good!

I can hardly believe my little Brogan has turned five years old. They really do grow so fast and change everyday! He is such a fun little boy with an outgoing personality! He is everyone's friend. He has a great imagination and is very creative! He brings joy to our lives. We love you Brogan and have enjoyed the five years we've had with you and can't wait to enjoy many more!
Happy Birthday!

Surprise, Surprise!

So those of you who don't know, we are expecting our third child! Today we found out what our baby is going to be. For those of you who already knew that I am pregnant, I won't keep you in suspense any longer! Well let me first explain that we have had a few previous ultrasounds and in the last one we were told that it looked like maybe a girl. Let me tell you that for me it came as a complete shock when the tech told us we are having boy number three. Yep, that's right, it's a BOY! Now if I am being completely honest (even though I feel horrible about it), I was a little disappointed, and had a few crying moments! I really was hoping for a girl, but then I grew up and realized that after three miscarriages in a row I really am grateful to be having another baby at all. And from what we can tell by the ultrasound, he is a very healthy and strong baby boy! So there you have it, we are having another boy. YEAH! Wow three boys, what am I going to do??? It'll be great fun. I love my boys very much and I know I will love this new little baby boy just as much!

P.s. Seth is very excited and so is Brogan and Gavin!

Easter

We had a very nice Easter this year! We enjoyed some fun
things on the Saturday before Easter. The boys opened
an Easter present from Seth and I.

They were so excited to see what we got them!

Brogan and Gavin had fun coloring Easter eggs!

Sunday we left for Burley to spend Easter day
at Gramsie's house. The boys had a blast
hunting Easter eggs with their cousins!
Brogan could hardly wait for the hunt to begin.
He kept asking Gramsie all day when the Easter
egg hunt was! He has a one-track mind!

After the Easter egg hunt all the kids decided to play in this really old truck while
Jared and Seth took pictures. It was pretty fun! Gavin and Parker never wanted
to get out!

April Fool's

Here's me, playing catch up again, so bear with me! April Fool's day is usually one of those holidays where we don't really do anything to celebrate! Mostly due to the fact that I can't ever think of a good prank. Well this year was different. The boys and I decided to play a joke on their dad. We found Seth's spare key to his car. We drove to his work and moved his vehicle to a different parking spot, then decorated it with balloons and ribbons and candy. We painted April Fool's on the window too. It was fun and was one of those kind of pranks where hopefully the person you are doing the prank on doesn't get too mad. I don't think we moved his car far enough away because he wasn't that late getting home, but he did say that he did worry for a minute. It was fun and he liked it. The boys had fun stuffing balloons and candy in the car too.

So Brogan has some news to share......he gets to go to
Kindergarten this year! Yea! In the process of getting
him ready to register for Kindergarten, we found out
he was going to need glasses. My first thoughts as his
mother were "Oh No!"---Sorry Brogan, I guess you got
your parents bad genes. Brogan was not sorry at all. In
fact he was so excited he wouldn't let me forget to make
him an appointment to see the eye doctor. Then when I
made the appt. he kept asking all day, "When are we
going?" Then as we were driving to the eye doctor, he
called them on his pretend cell phone to let them know we
were on our way! He got to pick out two pairs of glasses
( with help from his parents of course). Throughout the
next week or so Brogan asked every day if his glasses
had come in so we could pick them up. Needless to say,
Brogan loves his glasses and is so excited to have them!
I must say he looks absolutely adorable in his new specs
as you can see from the pictures below!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Brogan and Gavin. St. Patrick's
Day isn't a huge holiday, but a holiday is a holiday--anything
to give us a reason to celebrate right? Besides wearing green,
we decided to eat green things for lunch. Yum!
